studio1009My husband woke me up around 6 AM because he was able to make a vaccination appointment at the CVS pharmacy and wanted me to try to get one for myself.
It was fairly easy to book it from their web site. The only problem I had was that I didn't understand the question about "priority group". First, I answered no to being in a priority group, and they wouldn't schedule an appointment, even though I put my age in a field. I looked up what a priority group was and realized that 65 and over put me in the priority group. So I tried again indicating I was in a priority group and then it let me choose which one (65-74 was one of the selections)
So, now I have made my two vaccination appointments at a convenient location. It is the Moderna vaccine. Once I receive the vaccine, I need to figure out how to get off the two other lists I signed up for. The second shot is April 1. I will be glad to be immune before the summer and look forward to traveling again.
I know I will still need to wear a mask to protect others, but I will no longer be fearful of breathing the same air as strangers.
Update: 3 hours after I made the CVS appointment, I received an email from the county health department giving me a link to request a vaccination appointment. I won't sign up unless CVS fails.
